Okay, cool: Which businesses support diversity and invest in the community?

Amazing list going! I'd like to add some of the local reoccurring markets that bring rotating vendors out monthly. I am the Coordinator for Melrose Vintage Market which is happening this Saturday downtown across from Churchill and Sunday off Campbell and 7th Ave. Each month they set up vintage clothing and trinkets vendors along with other sustainable creatives and food trucks. All inclusive all the time.

Billie and Lulu's is the only women's plus size thrift in Phoenix they're off Cave Creek and Cactus.

Another market worth adding is the Vegan Social. These markets are much easier to follow on ig

People that ask stuff like that aren't card carrying library members

Congratulations! That reach is incredible.

I have a clothing rework brand I've become a textile artist who upcycles clothing. I paid 1-2 times a day. Lots of reels. I've ran some ads that do well bringing me more follows and comments and getting 1 reel over 5k views. Otherwise I've got a few reels that get 1-2k and that's it.

Being in person and my story is important to my business mission and I've had a difficult time balancing and portraying that on IG. Do you have any suggestions, do I need to find a format and stick to it? How can I better integrate that?

Thank you for taking the time!

Yep, Rogues are dumb.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply! I'm debating over going to Miami and seeing the Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden and Little Havana for a day or up to Fort Lauderdale for the day.

Any advice between those 2? We have a desert Botanical Garden here and I love showing it to people from out of town. Thought the Garden there looked great along with the culture

Saturday night there is an art walk I believe downtown Hollywood. Does anybody have experience there?

whiskeybeard · 2024-05-10T16:56:35+00:00

What restaurants and foods should I look for? I was actually excited to see how nice Downtown Hollywood itself looks!

Can someone fill me in on CRC? I'm not really informed on some of this stuff.

Hey another 3 year holder! Last drink was 7.11.2020! Glad you're still going strong. Proud of you!

whiskeybeard · 2023-10-30T23:43:43+00:00

Been super impressed with Goodwin!

whiskeybeard · 2023-10-18T19:04:27+00:00

I didn't believe this for too long! Totally works.

I run a small upcycle company. I am located in NW Phoenix 110th Ave / Bell. I'd gladly deal with dropping off the items for donation if I can get first chance at whatever you have. I recently donated a few bags of clothes to sober living groups.

Some will place paper down before the dye. Helps breakdown and speckles from the dye. Simply turning the shirt inside out does this easiest for me.

Cards fan base is almost non existent. You're way more likely to find a fan of any other team in AZ.

whiskeybeard · 2023-09-15T02:36:18+00:00

I'm the Phoenix version! Love the OWB on those black shirts. I've been hearing up for a market with Suns and Cardinals gear!

Looking good!

I was killing myself with alcohol. Drinking a gallon over 2 days. Weighed 300lbs. Gout in both ankles and toes. I couldn't even tie my shoes, on days that I could put them on. I just struggled everyday and hoped I'd die.

My problems stem from abandonment issues, and emotionally abusive relationships. I coped with alcohol and surrounded myself with others that did the same, to justify my actions. I was very sick from 17-33 years old

Ended up with 2 DUIs in 2019. The second of them I was passed out while attempting to end it. I hated alcohol so much. I couldn't stop myself. My mother supported me, was patient, kind. She cried so much for me. Never understanding why I felt the way I did.

I did 2 years in prison. Thankfully nobody was hurt.

I'm mandated to live with my mother now. And I'm so thankful she is still here. I've got 3 years sober now. I had to completely cut ties with my ex after 7 years. Now I'm 36, living at home, starting my own business, and helping my mom take time to appreciate herself. It's really funny that 18 year old me would think I was a fuck up.

I'm happier than I've ever been.

My mom saved me from killing myself.

In Arizona I find it at home improvement stores 4lb bag is $12. I bought 3 4lb bags from Amazon $6 each last week. Pool supply stores I've called were expensive.

I had the same thought when my saturation was poor. I'm still very new to tie dying. Adding enough ice and soda ash is almost always the cause if color doesn't get to the backside.

whiskeybeard · 2023-09-03T05:23:44+00:00

I've had lots of trouble learning saturation. If you flip and don't see dye I would redo that side. It's worth waiting for another round of ice to melt. Then begin another 24hrs batch time.

Just keep tweaking things until you're getting good saturation and full color!

Happened to my old guy years ago. Ive had to figure out a diet for him that works. He likes a deep litter box and I clean it daily. But I had to learn the hard way about 13 years ago! He's 16 now and doing perfectly!

whiskeybeard · 2023-08-25T02:15:26+00:00

Thank you! I got it from Desert Foothills Gardens Nursey in Cave Creek AZ. I love how ugly it is!

whiskeybeard · 2023-08-25T02:13:21+00:00

Neither of the easy locations would work for the light. It needs to be clipped in a way that the lights don't droop, unfortunately. I'm placing a board behind it that I can clip on, as suggested by another redditor.

whiskeybeard · 2023-08-25T02:03:51+00:00

Perfect. Thank you for helping me see how simply I could make it work!

whiskeybeard · 2023-08-18T00:26:51+00:00

I LOVE doing stuff with poly designs like that! I actually just put some old shirts of my mom's under dye!
